Guide to the Zabbix Plugin extension for Fuel

This plugin extends Mirantis OpenStack functionality by adding Zabbix monitoring system. It installs Zabbix server, frontend and agent components. The plugin configures Zabbix by adding templates to monitor nodes and OpenStack services and APIs.

Requirements

Requirement Version/Comment
Fuel 7.0, 8.0, 9.0 and 9.1

Operational limitations

  • If a base-os role node is deployed within the environment, the plugin installation may fail because the management network is not configured (see bug 1515956).
  • Prior to version 2.5.0, the plugin requires access to distribution repository, external or local mirror, in order to download necessary packages for proper installation. Since plugin version 2.5.0, the fuel-createmirror command is supported.
  • If you remove some nodes after initial deployments, their related informations will not be removed from the Zabbix collected metrics and you will have to remove these manually from the Zabbix UI.
  • MySQL database is common with other OpenStack services (see 1531834) This has a potential high impact on the disk sizing for /var/lib/mysql even though the biggest set of data has been cut down drastically.
  • Zabbix server service is located on one of the controller nodes therefore and in the exact same manner than 1531834 can impact disk space, this can have a significant CPU and/or memory usage on controller nodes for large deployment.
